I did notice one thing that did increase the speed... Only with the 980 Pro installed, go into Samsung Magician, Performance, and turn on Full Power Mode (only supported by the 980 and 980 Pro). After doing that and reboot, the Random Wite speeds did get up to 500-600MBs. Still less than the 750-850 that it got in Win 10, but an improvement over the 200 it was getting in Win 11.

Yes, in the .132 thread I mentioned that I tried the Win 10 19043 drivers storenvme and it didn't make a difference. Also tried the Samsung 3.3 NVMe driver and also didn't make a difference in the 970 EVO Plus, the 980 Pro can't use the Samsung 3.3 driver. In my case stornvme.sys is not even in the picture. Anyway I'm done with this testing for now, it does not appear to be a driver nor a specific device brand. I'll just wait for a MS fix.

@Leprechaun J, Hi, I'll stop running this benchmark, given that it has a warning stating it can reduce the lifespan of the NVMe SSD. When I replaced the driver files with the ones from Windows 10, I actually got similar or worse results as with the original Windows 11 drivers. 😒 Apparently it is not a driver issue. So I just restored the original files. I'll wait for a MS response to the FBH report.
